Johnny saw her ridin' on a streetcar named "desire" |
|
His fate was sealed |
|
She could see him comin' like a hundred other liars |
|
It was no big deal |
|
Rosa had a lover on the shady side of town |
|
Tito, he was king of the streets |
|
She was his possession like a jewel on his crown |
|
Johnny better run, better run? |
|
Better hide your heart |
|
Better hold on tight |
|
Better say your players |
|
Cause there's trouble tonight |
|
When pride and love battle with desire |
|
Better hide your heart |
|
Cause you're playing with fire |
|
The ride was over but the story doesn't end |
|
He took her heart |
|
She looked him in the eye |
|
And said they couldn't meet again |
|
You could see the trouble start |
|
The word went out that Rosa's missing with someone |
|
It was on the street |
|
Tito looked for Johnny with a vengeance and a gun |
|
Johnny better run, better run? |
|
Johnny's holding Rosa on a rooftop in the night |
|
As time stood still |
|
They couldn't hear him coming |
|
Till he had them both in sight |
|
You could feel the chill |
|
A shot rang out like thunder |
|
And the blood was on her hands |
|
With nothing won |
|
When someone lies there dying |
|
Lovers finally understand |
